    Can't you G hear those drivers C wail?

    Can't you G see those bright rails D shine?

    Gonna G catch that fireball C mail

    Leave the G northland D far beGhind

     

    A G river of whiskey flows down in Dixie

    C Down along the Dixie G Line

    They pulled up the tracks now

    I can't go back now

    A7 Can't hardly keep from C cryin'

    Em Oh do they G miss me

    C Way down in A7 Dixie

    G Down along the D Dixie G Line

    Chorus

    Can't you G hear those drivers C wail?

    Can't you G see those bright rails D shine?

    Gonna G catch that fireball C mail

    Leave the G northland D far beGhind C A7

    G Down along the D Dixie G Line
